🛝 When I was first running for Council, Notting Hill wasn’t getting much love. Over the past four years we’ve built a brand new park in Samada Street, creating walking and cycling tracks and just completed the newly rebuilt playground at the @nottinghillnh which includes sensory elements for young children
#EMERGE is on again tonight, and tomorrow, Monday and Tuesday nights from 5pm-9:30pm in the Mount Waverley Community Centre gardens in Miller Crescent.
Tonight our amazing Emerge festival is kicking off. It’s an amazing family friendly light display around the gardens of the Mount Waverley Community Centre. It’s on every night until June 28 from 5pm-9:30pm
Pop quiz - where is this? Almost all of you will know it very well, just not in this form.
The Dragon Boat Festival, also known as Tuen Ng, falls on the fifth day of the fifth lunar month. It commemorates the death of Qu Yuan, a Chinese poet and minister known for his patriotism and contributions to classical poetry
💙💛 Sensational turnout for the 20th birthday celebrations for the Combined Probus Club of Wheelers Hill. Fair to say everyone is incredibly excited to be able to sit down with friends and enjoy each other’s company. Probus do some amazing work in our local area 💛💙
The best thing to do on a old winters afternoon in Melbourne is to sing and dance the day away at a local festival
Cracking day to be out and about. @nottinghillnh is running a youth market today. Great way to encourage and incentivise our younger people to be creative. Pop on down.
🎂🥳🍾 Terrific to join former Mayors, Councillors and staff from the City of Oakleigh, along with local community leaders, to celebrate 100 years of the Oakleigh Chambers next to the Police Station
Happy 1st birthday to our beautiful little man.
Great way to escape the cold this afternoon; Enough is Enough - a play by Kieran Carroll centred around problem gambling
🚂🚞🚆 The nerd in me had an awesome time at the Waverley Model Railway Club’s exhibition this morning. Kids had a lot of fun trying to find various features in the installations, some of which took more than 5 years to build 😮😮
Awesome discussion with Golden Days Radio (95.7fm) on all things Monash including how we dealt with the COVID pandemic and local events coming up. The interview airs today around 10:10am - tune in!
As someone that played eight ball for more than 20 years, it was an absolute highlight to visit the Clayton Seniors Amateur Snooker Group
It’s the small things that sometimes mean so much
Have you been done to Progress Park in Cameron Ave, Oakleigh South to check out our brand new playground?
You may remember a post I put up talking about a bunch of supportive letters I received from 4S at @oakleigh.grammar when we decided to change our bin collections. It was late on a Friday afternoon after a very difficult week. It brought me to tears. The following week I organise for our sustainability team to gather and presented it to them.
I’m inside freezing code with the heater and a puffy jacket on. Meanwhile, outside at 8am in Oakleigh…..
Extremely proud to join Cr Josh Fergeus in opening this next chapter of improvements in the area. Pop down and check it out, and grab a delicious coffee next door from Anne at @inchmealcafe 😋
Big thanks to Minister @lilydambrosiomp and @steve_dimopoulos for their support & financial contribution under the Suburban Parks Program

And as a former @careygrammar grammarian I just loved the yellow and blue coloured theme; reminded me of graduation day 😃

📰 History Monash have put together a terrific display documenting a century of changes, and we’re opening the doors to this magnificent building to the public (today and tomorrow from 10am until 1pm)
If you haven’t been inside, this is a great opportunity. Entry is from the back of the building. Pictured below in the former “Mayoral quarters” 🏚

How time flies 🎉🎁🥳

Even during lockdowns, Monash residents lost $62 MILLION on pokie machines alone - and that doesn’t even including online avenues. Pre-COVID, that figured was a staggered $110 million. Australia is #1 in the entire world for poker machines per head. What a shocking record to hold.
We are currently reviewing our Gambling Harm Prevention Policy, with consultation to begin shortly, but we urge you to reach out to your local State MP and say that “Enough is enough”

The exhibition is running all long weekend from 10am at the Brandon Park Community Centre (next to the GW police station on FTG Road). Well worth the visit; wish them a happy 50th birthday when you’re there! 🎉🎂🥳

They meet twice a week and all the members are pensioners over the age of 70. They’re not to bad with a cue in hand either
Fostering community connections and helping to alleviate social isolation is a big part of what we do 😍

Thank-you to the Rotary Club of Glen Waverley for their donation of an all abilities spinner at the Central Reserve playground. Abled people (myself included) often take playgrounds for granted, but for these kids who often can’t use standard equipment, there’s finally a reason to visit
We’ve also installed one at Progress Park in Oakleigh South!

We’ve also introduced a shared zone along Pitt Street to provide a safer pedestrian connection to the new active space area we’re creating in the previously vacant block

Last week our team joined me in a visit to school assembly, and afterwards, 4S got to spend some time with us quizzing me about everything Council.
Words can’t express my gratitude to them. Our future is in good hands. A big thanks to their teacher Ashlee for teaching our youth the value of looking after our planet 🙌😍👏
